I had just bought a cheaper cable, mainly because of 2 meters instead of 3 meters was long. I had to send it back but because it had a loose connection. That's not good for my stereo system. The replacement cable under warranty I had to also return for the same mistake. This Brennenstuhl cable is a couple euros more expensive, but so much better! Well made, good contacts. However, it is recommended a few euros to spendieren more and then have a much better cable. Let the cables are cheap!
